The first time I noticed this sign I asked if there was a reason they’d put it up or if was just preemptive.
“Oh, there’s ALWAYS a reason for the signs.”

Please consider doing a kindness this giving season and help Dani fulfill this Angel Tree request. Those are for children, usually living in poverty, who need help having a brighter holiday. Even if you can't cover the whole thing, you can help make a difference for this child.
Hiding on this account due to safety concerns if anyone wants to share.
Also, I would love to fill this angel tree while I'm still working in this Walmart.
$40-50 will help cover things with snowboots/jacket being needed!! More is always appreciated to go above ❤️

People got fussy back in the day when people brought up the term "social contract" as part of gaming, but that's what it is.
- What kind of game are we trying to play?
- What's people's roles in that?
Stated up front, people can decide if that's what they want or not.

The main issue with the box o art is the supplies in it aren't even crayola level functional.
An experienced artist will know this, appreciate that your heart was in the right place, and then never use it.
A beginning artist will not know this and blame themselves when their art is bad.

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.
I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.

I don't specifically spring clean, but yes otherwise. I do a big clean when the neurodivergence so moves me.
Question for Millennials only (1980-1995):
Do you…
1) Save all manuals that come with your stuff
2) Save the (extra) parts and hardware when you have to assemble stuff
3) Have a tool box / place for basic tools
4) Perform recommended maintenance on appliances
5) Do “Spring cleaning”
Quote it.
